As part of the 4th Annual Green Building Conference, the public is invited to 3 great events – all ‘Green and Free’!
“Retrofit Revolution” – Keynote Presentation by Lorraine Gauthier
Friday, November 8th - 7:30 pm
The Stemwinder Lounge, Kimberley Alpine Resort
The spotlight has been on building new homes that are more energy
efficient and sustainable. But what about the huge stock of older homes across
the country?
In 50 years, two thirds of Canada’s existing homes will still be here.
Will they be the energy hogs they are today? Or will we start a retrofit
revolution before it’s too late?
Join Lorraine Gauthier as she describes the vision and approach behind the Now House® - the transformation of older houses to net zero energy homes -and explores current approaches for achieving deep energy retrofits on a community scale." Sponsored by CMHC. Free Admission. Cash Bar.
